Women’s Economic Empowerment Workshop To Be Held In Framingham

FRAMINGHAM, MA—Treasurer Deb Goldberg announced another new location for the Women’s Economic Empowerment Series. The workshop, hosted by the Treasurer’s Office of Economic Empowerment (OEE) and Framingham Mayor Yvonne Spicer, is a free program focusing on wage negotiation, money management, retirement and investment strategies for women.

The workshop will be held at Framingham State University on Saturday, March 3.

“Women face unique challenges when it comes to financial security,” said Goldberg. “This program will provide critical information that will give women the skills they need to be successful in today’s economy.”

“Framingham is very excited to partner with Treasurer Goldberg to bring the Women’s Economic Empowerment Series to our community," said Spicer. "We welcome this amazing program and hope to encourage students to become financially literate, economically independent as well as empower women to control their futures."

Women, on average, earn less than men over the course of their working lives because of the wage gap and more likely to leave the workforce to care for family members. Framingham was chosen as part of an expansion to bring economic security workshops to women across Massachusetts to help empower women and give them the tools to reach their full financial potential, said the announcement.

The Women’s Economic Empowerment Series takes place on Saturday, March 3, at 9 a.m. in the McCarthy Center at Framingham State University. The program includes financial education workshops and salary negotiation training. Lunch is provided to participants.
